    Samson Part 1 Series

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Sep 2, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,758 views

    Samson had everything going for him: supportive, godly parents, a good home environment, and blessing from God. So why did he decide to walk a path of selfishness and what does that say to us?

Why the Lord ever used him is beyond me and why his story is just so interesting and compelling floors me. I think ...read more

    Judgment Is Revealed Series

    Contributed by Bruce Willis on Oct 1, 2007
    based on 13 ratings
     | 4,532 views

    This sermon seeks to encourage an honest look at oneself in light of the judgment you pass on others; for when you criticize negative traits in others you are revealing the things which you dislike in yourself.
